The new winGRASS 6.4.0RC2 is now available! It has been packaged into the OSGeo4W installer which also provides QGIS, Mapserver, GDAL and other goodies.

OSGeo4W has two modes – express and advanced:

• “Express” gives you a short list of suggested packages to select from which have been widely tested.
• “Advanced” gives a long detailed list of packages and subpackages including development versions and so forth. For the moment GRASS is available in the “advanced” install. After a period of testing it may be moved to the “express” section.

OSGeo4W Installer download:
http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/osgeo4w-setup.exe
Please download it and test. The wizard will guide you through the installation process.

Find GRASS in
